Veggies

Not only will adding vegetables boost the nutritional value of your meal, but it will also add extra flavor. Broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, and cauliflower are all great additions. You can also sauté up some onions or cherry tomatoes to throw in as well.

Spice It Up

The next time you decide to make boxed mac, try throwing in some spices you already have in your pantry. Red pepper flakes, chili powder, garlic, or Italian seasoning is an easy and budget-friendly way to boost your mac and cheese. If you’re a fan of spicy food, try adding hot sauces such as Sriracha or Tabasco.

Make it Cheesier

Stick to this simple rule: you can never have too much cheese in mac and cheese. Add an extra layer of cheesy flavor to your Mac by throwing in some parmesan, goat cheese, mozzarella or whatever other cheese you have in your fridge.

Pre-Sliced Food

Whether it’s mushrooms, carrot sticks, or something else, buying food that has already been cut up is never a good idea. While it might save you a few minutes, you will almost always pay more for these items when prepping the ingredients really isn’t difficult.

The only exceptions are buying pre-spiralized food if you don’t own a spiralizer and want to occasionally eat zoodles, and sometimes coleslaw mix if you don’t need a lot of cabbage around.

Rotisserie Chicken

Cooking a chicken whole is a really difficult task for some, and if you don’t have the time to cook or learn how to do it, buying pre-made rotisserie chicken is not a bad way to go. Although, it does have a good amount of sodium, so make sure you’re not eating it too often or in large quantities.

Food Processor

Although you might not get consistent cuts, using a food processor to chop up food is a great option to have if you don’t like prepping vegetables or fruits. Use it to help you eat more produce, an awesome shortcut.
